Hot Pink Shorts: The Making Of
World premiere of a new series on OUTtv - it's a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process, through a queer lens.
Who exactly is Linda? Yes, she has troubles like any other teenager. She's an only child. She can be lazy and probably eats more than she should. She remains focused on her own needs and doesn't mind creating daily drama when she doesn't get her way. Linda, like so many other teenagers, tends to think that the world revolves around her, and, frankly, in her household, for the most part it does! Because, well...how shall we put this?... Linda is a cat.
But Linda is not just any ordinary cat; she's "very pretty" (a gray and crème Tabby) with so many "issues" that her family has decided to seek professional help for her. Enter Dr. Andy. Her only chance to express her emotions is through her weekly visits with him, as he is a "certified" Pet Therapist - or "Pet-iatrician." It's Dr. Andy who sees a significant tie between Linda's issues and her parents. Not that they're inattentive, treat her unfairly or don't love her, quite the contrary! But her parents are "different": they travel all over the world, throw amazing parties with their equally-out-there friends, attend major entertainment events where they meet everyone from Martina Navratilova to James Spader to Hillary Clinton, and oh, by the way, Linda doesn't just have one "mommy"...she has TWO!
"Linda Has Two Mommies" is a unique sitcom/reality/partly-animated series of short interstitial programs, based upon the hilarious real life stories of her "mommies" and series creators Cheryl McDermott and Barbara Hobart. This series dramatizes the escapades of two high-flying, sometimes high-strung, always hilarious gay women as told by their cat, Linda to her therapist.
"We wanted to show our world from the perspective of the center of our world, Linda Hobart, cat extraordinaire. Little did we know that we would not only be able to share our life through her perspective but that, in the process, we would become cartoon characters! (Linda's probably always thought of us as "cartoonish", though, so I don't know why I'm surprised.) ....Cheryl McDermott
"It was Linda's idea to animate us because she is so, well, NOT animated, and she thought the "counterpoint" would be significant. She is ultimately, extremely creative and a deep thinker so, as with all things in our life, we followed her lead! Plus, because she has no thumbs, she was looking for another way to monetize her slovenly existence."...Barbara Hobart
"Linda has so many stories to tell... frankly, I haven't even made half of them public yet. It just wouldn't be professional therapeutic behaviour to reveal such funny, personal, sometimes embarrassing stories on TV until I've had a chance to bring in my make-up and wardrobe people"... Dr. Andy, Pet Therapist
"I'm really the only normal one in the whole show. I mean, seriously, wait till you see them. Now get out of my chair."... Linda
"Cheryl and Barbara have produced something very original and fun. It is a pleasure for us at OUTtv to be able to introduce it to our audience" OUT TV's COO Brad Danks.
